Bridge
demolition will close Interstate 75 in downtown Detroit this
weekend as part of a multi-million dollar interchange improvement
project. I-75 will reopen to traffic at 5 a.m. Monday.

Construction
crews will shut down I-75 in downtown Detroit at 9 p.m. Friday.
The northbound lanes will close at US-12 (Michigan Avenue) while
southbound drivers will be detoured onto the I-94 freeway. Crews
will begin reconstructing the ramp from northbound I-75 to westbound
I-94.

The interchange
improvement project is part of a plan to resurface both directions
of I-94 between the I-96 interchange and Conner Avenue in Detroit.
While interchange improvements will result in around-the-clock
detours until the end of May, crews plan to resurface the freeway
during off-peak hours.
